Raccomunk.8562 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 From what I can tell, the Badge of the Willbender from the Purifier collection seems to be unobtainable. The achievement says 'Hint: As a guardian, defeat one of the Purist lieutenants in New Kaineng'. There is no Purist lieutenant mob in the game. Me and a bunch of different players have attempted to hunt down all other types of Purist mobs, without finding the badge. Purists in the story, in open world, in events, in strike missions, in the new guild hall, none of them drops the badge. We have even attempted to kill lieutenants of the other factions in the expansion. I have encountered a lot of players who are stuck on this part of the achievement, and none that have completed it. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tails.4209 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I just got the Badge of the WIllbender drop from the Champion Sarin event in New Kaineng City. It was around "Field Notes 3" in Old Kaineng. Time to get your weapon. 🙂 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/140245369224298496/952431791787089920/unknown.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xephir.7635 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Yeah, still haven't get the event to spawn. I think its bugged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthijsB.4731 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Same for me. Also been in specific squads in Kaineng with muliple maps with guards waiting for the spawn. So it seems to be widespread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowpokeking.8720 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Our group found it, tried to kill it but it simply despawned, not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff Rubi Bayer.8493 Posted March 17, 2022 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted March 17, 2022 Hi all, I've been talking with the team about this to figure out what's going on and I think I have an answer for you! For these collections, when you defeat the enemy you need to be playing on the relevant profession for that badge (in this case guardian) and have the relevant elite specialization (in this case willbender) unlocked. If that was the case for you and you still did not get the drop, please submit a bug report in game so we can keep an eye on it. 1 2 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubi we have found the event. you do need to be on a guardian and it will drop the issue is the community is not sure how the event triggers. I lead a squad on the 15th and we waited across several maps in old kaineng where people found the spawns. After 5 hours the event spawned on one of the maps though we have no idea what the trigger for the event was. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I wrote in another thread, like Chocofox I also commanded several squads in the last few days and the champion spawned twice in collectively ~20 hours and on average 6-8 different IPs at a time. I am almost sure that this is bugged as otherwise it had to have happened more often in this time span. I also encouraged my squad guards to write bug reports, so there should be a few issued. Thanks for looking into it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lii Stormbreaker.3186 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) I'm playing more than 10+ hr. EU server we create squad for varies instance Yes we unlocked willbender yes we knew the rules doing as the hint told us but the problem that we found is none of them spawn !!!! some said they did spawn but show only few minute and gone !!!!!! keep waitin for next hour but still no show !!!!! YES THERE ARE PROBLEMS FOR THIS ACHIEVEMENT FROM THE START Ref. Bugs: Willbender's Trinket drops from Aetherblades in New Kaineng City, instead of in Echovald Wilds Willbender's Feat is also awarded from any heart vendor in New Kaineng City when buying Threat Assessment Manual I'm still mad because the hints was not accurate at the expansion launch and you still think that was the player fault ? oh they might not unlock the willbender yet oh they might not know they have to kill it with guardian profession pleaseee we knew ok !!!?

mythical.6315 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) With the very large number of bugs the expansion shipped with, including how many still remain unresolved, I’d personally be hesitant to blame something on player error. Just because something should work one way does not mean it is actually working that way in game. This is especially true when the hint for one of the items points to an entirely different map. Of course that’s different from the issue raised in this thread where the event/champion for the Badge of the Willbender item doesn’t ever spawn.

Victor.6574 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) My understanding of the issue is that the event(s) DO spawn, but it doesn't restart properly afterwards, so you need to be on a fresh map to get it. (at least, according to my guildmate who was able to get the badge the other day) Edited March 18, 2022 by Victor.6574 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumpus.1234 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Simple solution: add the Badge of the Willbender drop to Defeat Janin at the end of the detective escort. It makes just as much sense as the other profession badges from quest chains. Those at least happen frequently. And Jade Maw, which is a whole other pile of trouble but is at least on a timetable.

Lii Stormbreaker.3186 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Yes or maybe just kill Any Champ Purist and any other map because they are Purist the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grub Lane is a hotbed of Purist activity and it's right there. It's a perfect spot for the leadership to hide out and a natural progression through the zone. It's just that, when the player arrives, there's a mass of equally distributed undead, active Jade Brotherhood and Aetherblade camps, and no purists?

mythical.6315 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Could killing enough of the purists in grub lane cause the champs to spawn? Whether it be the ruffians or knocking on the doors? There’s also a named mob to the SW of grub lane that has me confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff Rubi Bayer.8493 Posted March 18, 2022 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted March 18, 2022 Hi all, I have been asking questions about timing, requirements, and enemies on these events as well as looking into any existing bugs. I don't have solid answers for you yet but wanted to let you know in the meantime that we are looking into it so I can get you those answers! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
